Great location! Close to downtown. Beautiful views. Fun to see whales from back windows. Open floor plan. Comfortable beds. Road noise a little busy but we got used to it. Great kitchen. Super fun to walk down lane to ocean's edge to see sunsets. Would come back again.

This property was fantastic, they have just about everything you will need for your stay to be fun and comfortable. We loved this house!

I stayed here with my family for IM race week and it was the most amazing perfect homebase especially with three younger kids (ages 6,6, and 11). It is a great location close to town and right on the run course. The pool was a hit with the kids and so great to have, they all had fun playing in it for hours a day. They also loved running down the street to the lava rock beach at the end of the lane to watch the sunsets and the sunset views were also spectacular from the house. The house is a fun boho vibe and very homey feeling. Communications with Jill were easy and she was very responsive. It's a beautiful property. I would definitely stay here again!

This house was a surprise. The pics make it look a little older than it is. We expected a rental with older furniture and facilities. We found a well-loved and very well-maintained home, with new air conditioners and the cleanest pool we've ever used that required no heating and therefore no extra fees. Every evening we walked to see the sunset at the end of the street. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Finally, if you're doing any island tours, all the operators know the Royal Wyndham resort right next door, so pick-up and drop-offs are also very easy. There are a few things to bear in mind: it's near a main road, which can be noisy. The house is well situated so the noise was not a big deal & we quickly acclimatized. The fruit is seasonal (of course) so don't expect to have a crate of free mangos the year round. You will have to sign a separate (and pretty straightforward) agreement directly with the owners, which I dislike but who knows what kind of issues they've had in the past? Strangely, the entire house is very well stocked, with spices, hand soaps, detergents, etc. but you must bring your own shampoo and shower gel. And you have to do a bit of cleaning when you leave. All of this is no bother as while the house felt priced appropriately going by the listing only, on arrival we felt we got a bargain and would happily stay again even if the rate went up a little. Definitely will check this place out on our next trip to the Big Island.

This home is really nice; great view and kitchen literally has everything you would ever want. The beds are so comfortable and I'm a princess and pea person. Check in and check out was simple. The home is very clean and updated throughout. Jill was great. We had a tropical storm warning during our stay and she texted us with support. it was nothing on our side and very minimal on the Hilo side. Only one con if you are sensitive and want quiet. The home is right on Ali'i Drive. This is a main thoroughfare through Kona. The traffic is quite loud. If you have a lively family, you probably won't care. It is close to everything in Kona so that's the positive side. It may have been busier than usual during our stay, I don't know. Overall, we were very satisfied during our two weeks vacation. Thank you, Jill!

We absolutely loved Jill's home! We had an ocean view, loved the pool, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked. And the land next door with goats on it (lots of baby goats!), just made it all that much better! :) It was a beautiful, comfortable home, in the perfect area. Jill was super kind and was quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this place and rent it again when we come back to Kailua Kona. I'm already missing waking up to the gorgeous ocean view and pretty sunsets right from the kitchen table!

We (3 siblings + spouses) thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house had everything we needed plus more. We especially enjoyed the pool, loung chairs, tables with umbrellas and lovely landscaping as well as watching the sunset from the end of our private road, or from the many windows from the house. The location was convenient but the road was busy and noisy if the air conditioners/fans weren't running in the bedrooms. One of the air conditioner fans wasn't working properly the 1st night and Jill was wonderful at getting it replaced within hours!

Beautiful experience to share with family..
